"Hiring Humor: American Coalition for Clean Coal Electricity Seeks New President … On Craigslist"

Share:

After more than 17 years at the American Coalition for Clean Coal Electricity, President Stephen L. Miller is stepping down.

So where will the organization find the ideal candidate to continue its mission of trying to polish coal’s image? Why, Craigslist of course!

It appears someone beat them to the punch. I had to chuckle when I saw this fake ad from someone at the Sierra Club posted yesterday:

Job Title: President, American Coalition for Clean Coal Electricity

Job Description:

Are you a motivated go-getter who hates to let facts stand in the way of profits? Are you good at making something out of nothing? Do you sleep soundly at night, no matter what you’ve done? Do you reject the global anti-capitalist “science” conspiracy? Are you comfortable around unicorns, centaurs, and other so-called “mythical” creatures? Do you have experience in the tobacco industry?

If you answered yes to those questions, we want to hear from you. The American Coalition for Clean Coal Electricity is seeking a new President of our trade association to continue our work promoting a product that doesn’t actually exist: clean coal electricity. The ideal candidate would be able to alter the long-standing ironclad laws of chemistry to create clean coal (through magic or otherwise), but we’ll settle for someone that can say it exists with a straight face.

Key Responsibilities:

Pretending Clean Coal exists during meetings with the media, government officials, and citizens

Denying climate change over and over again.

Really, really hating clean air and really, really loving making a few of your friends a lot of money
